A Society 70 be ENCOURAGED.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The interest you have always manifested in en-
HANGING the welfare OF our citizens encourages the
undersigned to solicit your valuable assistance In
calling the attention of the public to the efforts OF
the District Of Columbia Horticultural society,"
whose aim is "to promote, foster and encourge
horticultural taste and knowledge"
This society has for nine years past rendered
valuable aid to our citizens by disseminating prac-
tical Information for the cultivation OF fruits,
flowers and Shrubbery, thereby enabling them TO
beautify their homes and increase the value o
their property. Among its members are numer-
Gus scientists and practical gentlemen who cheer
FULLY contribute their means and Information
gratuitously for the benefit OF the public.
Our citizens have not properly appreciated the
efforts OF this society to serve them. While DOS
sessing many advantages over other localities
with our numerous terraces and parterres-for
beautifying their homes, many choice places re-
main un1mpr0ved for want OF practical knowledge
by their owners and Others present an unt1dy and
neglected appearance. Nature is most lavish In
adorning ne a, domains; and man. to whom this
tvated taste In Identifying our homes not only in
creaSes their value but secures comfort and pleas
ure to their inmates, by furnishing them with the
means OF culttvating the better feelings OF our
nature, which tend TO relax the carewOrn mind and
raise the affections above the angry turmOils of
life.
The facilities possessed by the citizens OF the
District for improving their homes with flowers
are unsurpassed in any other section OF our coun-
try, while other localities not possessing One-half
these advantages are far beyond us In The adOrn-
ment OF their hOnesteads with beautiful flowers
trees and ShrubDery.
In view OF the numerous BENEFITS resulting to our
citizens from the Efforts OF this society In dissent
mating practical information for their benefit,
thereby enabling them to embellish their homes at
nominal expense, does it not behoOye all OF our
citizens who desire to achieve this object to come
forward and lend their aid this society in their
efforts to carry out the objects OF their organization
At each meeting some practical subject is dis
cussed, beautiful flowers and plants exhibited and
all can enjoy the feast who attend. The meetings
are held monthly and are regularly advertised In

An Anti.Tobacco Protest.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
recent editorial OF OF the other city datlies
speaks OF tobacco as one OF the necessares of life
and urges that the internal revenue tax should be
removed. l beg leave to protest in the name and
honor OF ladies and thousands OF others In this
city, being large majority here, and the same is
true elsewhere In the United States of the people
who do not use the weed and by no means con
slider 1t necessary OF LIFE but an almost tntOlera-
BILE nuisance. Few men, who have this habit fast,
ened on them. would for moment consent to
their wives and daughters using tobacco as they
do. Why should not women have the same nh
erty as men to indulge in using this necessary OF
life" am sure, Mr.. Editor, you will give our SIDE
q chance to be heard. Must we bear the fumes of
smoke which men draw into their mouths and sniff
out in faces; or behold the disgusting SIGHTS ar
vile cuSpidOreS or the free use OF our floors and the
streets for expectoratiOn, without protest?
Removing the tax may make the retail price a
little cheaper, and II 1t does there will be no less
money sQuandered than now In that way bfcanso
more tobacco will be used, as is probably the az.
pectation forsOOth to aid the 'p0or farmers.n
Our advice to poor or good farmers Is to raise
some other farm products, thereby not fmpoyer1sh
their land so much, and have clearer consctences
and more cieanly households. II anything is pro-
posed to be done likely to increase the use OF To-
baccO lift our voice against it. because we fear
it would be more dincult than ever to save any or
our young men from the nlthy and degrading
habit INrT

THE CAPITAL BICYCLE CLUB.
A Series Of Social Entertainments 10 be

Since taking possession Of its new home on 18th
street, the Capital Bicycle club has taken new
departure which promises to be great addition
to Its many attractions While still remaining
bicycling organization, and az such ranking as
one of the first in the country it has determined
to turn its attention to developing its social side
somewhat more fully. With this in view a series
of entertainments has been decided upon, which
will he OF great interest to the club members. The
club numbers among its members many men
whose regulations as travellers, scientists and
musicians are more than local. These members
have consented to give aseries OF lectures on scen
tifc and popular subjects After the lectures the
remainder OF the evening Will be given UP to dane
ing. The first lecture Will be given on Tuesday
evening, when MI. George KEENAN,, the Well known
Siberian traveller and correspondent, will enter
tain hts fellow club-men and their friends with
talk on 'sVagabOnd Life in Eastern Europe The
club has in It's new house seating capacity for
about two hundred, and MI. Remnants reputation
as an interesting and charming talker win insure
full attendance.
In this way members OF the club will be brought
into closer social intercourse than by occasional
runs into the country on the wheel, and an
opportunity will be given to their friends, parti-
cuiarly ladies, to share In comforts OF their club
house.
